Maritime Southeast Asia
Maritime Southeast Asia
is the maritime
region
of
Southeast Asia
as opposed to
mainland Southeast Asia
and comprises
Brunei
,
East Malaysia
,
East Timor
,
Indonesia
,
Singapore
, and the
Philippines
. Maritime Southeast Asia is sometimes also referred to as "island Southeast Asia" or "insular Southeast Asia". The 19th-century term "
Malay Archipelago
" refers to a largely similar area. This region differs from
Indochina
in that its populations predominantly belong to the
Austronesian
(Malayo-Polynesian) group, and exhibit various maritime-based, tribal, and largely non-
sinicized
cultures.
